Maxime Manga
Cameroonian graphic artist Maxime Manga has become the illustration go-to for some of the biggest names on the planet: Adidas; The New Yorker; Adobe; The Academy – yes, that Academy in Hollywood that dishes out the Oscars. His motto is "using diversity to create uniqueness." It's why his art often features portraits from underrepresented communities, in a digital collage of geometric shapes and stardust shades.
